Former Detroit cop imprisoned in beating death of Malice Green has died

Larry Nevers, the former Detroit police officer convicted in the 1992 beating death of Malice Green, has died, Macomb Township officials confirmed.

Nevers, a Macomb Township resident, was the husband of township Trustee Nancy Nevers.

Larry Nevers and his police partner, Walter Budzyn, were convicted originally of second-degree murder for killing 35-year-old Malice Green outside a Detroit "crack" house in 1992. The convictions were later reduced to manslaughter.
